Android Remote App

Why does the Android Forge TV Remote take a long time to establish a connection?

The Forge TV Remote will use Bluetooth to create a peer-to-peer connection if the Wi-Fi connection can't be established. This Bluetooth connection can take longer to establish a connection because of the inherent limitations of Bluetooth. During the initial setup of Forge, the Android Forge TV Remote will use the Bluetooth connection since network is not yet configured.

How do I wake up my Razer Forge TV using the Forge TV Remote app?

Once the app has successfully connected, press the "Back" arrow to wake up the Forge TV.

How can I make my Android Forge TV Remote connect to Forge faster?

Make sure the Android phone and Forge are on the same Wi-Fi network. If the Forge is connected to Ethernet, make sure the Forge is connected to the same router as the Android phone.

How do I use voice search?

Voice search is compatible with the Android Forge TV remote app that can be downloaded to your compatible mobile device.

Wireless interference can impede the connection to the Forge TV. Try eliminating additional wireless sources or move closer to the Forge TV. You can also try resetting Bluetooth in the iOS settings by turning Bluetooth off and then on.

Why won't the onscreen iOS keyboard appear when needed?

The keyboard is only available when the phone is set to English and the Forge TV is set to English. Any other combinations of languages will result in the keyboard being disabled or hidden.

I have two(2) iOS Forge TV Remote Apps connected at the same time trying to use Forge TV, but only one remote is working. What happened?

The Forge TV Remote App was designed to be used with a single remote at a time. However, if this happens, close and swipe away all connected iOS Remote apps then launch a single one.

Why doesn't the iOS remote have microphone input functionality like the Android remote?

The iOS remote uses Bluetooth Smart (also known as Bluetooth Low Energy). Bluetooth Smart has a lot of benefits for a remote including low latency, point-to-point connection and low battery usage.

Unfortunately, the Bluetooth Smart bandwidth is too low to support real-time voice functionality. You can use the voice function of the iOS keyboard to dictate text entry into text fields on Forge TV. To do this, simply navigate to the search text field, select it, open the iOS keyboard, select voice and speak.
